The two New Jersey natives started at zMAX Dragway, the only four-lane all-concrete dragstrip in the country and the host of the upcoming NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, April 13-15. Brown, the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Top Fuel points leader, took the wheel, and Truex strapped in behind him in a two-seat dragster provided by Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School.

“The first time, I wasn’t really ready for it. It all happened kind of fast, so I didn’t get to look around or see anything,” Truex said of his ride with Brown. “The second time, I made sure I kept my head around, and it was a lot cooler. You really feel that pressure, and you’re really accelerating, but at the same time, it almost feels like it takes a long time to get down there. It’s almost like your mind puts it in slow motion because you’re scared. … It’s crazy.”

After assaulting "the Bellagio of dragstrips," the duo moved across the street to try out Charlotte Motor Speedway. Truex took the wheel of a two-seat stock car provided by the Richard Petty Driving Experience, and the two logged laps on the famous 1.5-mile superspeedway.

“That is incredible. Incredible,” Brown said of riding shotgun with Truex. “When that whole ride started, I was like, ‘All right, we’re going to go out on the track, and we’re going to break it in, easy.’ He was mat-to-the-floor right to the first turn. … I’m like, ‘We ain’t slowing down for this corner.’ It was one of the rides of all rides. It was incredible. … Side-by-side, trading paint, I tell you what, I’ve always had respect, but I have a whole new meaning for NASCAR.”
